BELAZU Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500g)

Belazu’s Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil is an extraordinary example of quality olive oil, crafted with care, precision, and respect for tradition. Made from the first Arbequina olives of the season, this olive oil is cold-extracted and stone-crushed for the richest, most vibrant flavour. The early harvest process means that olives are picked when they are still green or purple, yielding a lower quantity but a far more intense, characterful flavour. The result is an olive oil with notes of fresh grass, pepper, almond, and a subtle hint of banana, perfect for finishing dishes or enhancing delicate flavours.

This exceptional olive oil is produced in Catalonia, Spain, by Belazu’s long-time olive oil partner, Eduard. His family’s farm has been cultivating olives for generations, and the early harvest tradition is upheld with the utmost care. Each olive is pressed using large granite stones, preserving the purity and freshness of the oil in a way that modern methods often miss. For this reason, Belazu’s Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil is cherished by chefs like Mark Hix, who famously claimed it’s "too good to cook with." The oil has been awarded stars by the Guild of Fine Foods’ Great Taste Awards, cementing its status as one of the finest olive oils available.

This olive oil has endless culinary applications. With its complex flavour profile, it is ideally suited as a finishing oil, drizzled over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or even freshly baked bread. It pairs beautifully with salads, enhancing each bite with a burst of fresh, peppery flavour. Try combining it with Belazu’s Balsamic Vinegar of Modena for a simple yet unforgettable salad dressing, or drizzle it over a pasta dish for a rich, Mediterranean touch. Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also exceptional for dipping, allowing you to fully appreciate its nuances with each taste.
